  • Everything Bagpuss has said I would agree with completely, also encourage her to go to as many clubs as possible to meet a range of new people and to feel Busy and involved. Encourage little trips with friends / groups at the weekend if possible.  My daughter got along okay but then struggled greatly when her 2 friends began to leave her out .  I spoke with SEN at the end of the year so they were aware for year 8 I am going to email them outlining the support she needs.  Melatonin / Circadin prescribed from the paediatrician (not GP) have helped with sleep anxiety on a school night as have meditation stores and essential oils. Having everything ready the night before has helped and become a necessary routine so she can start to relax.  I hope your daughter does really well, friends are the main concern for my daughter and if she’s happy everything else goes well (mostly).  All The best to you and your family.  X
